Trainee doctors and dentists can apply for funded study leave. The Scotland Deanery operates a national process and system to ensure that all applications for study leave are considered on a fair, equitable and consistent basis. 

The Policy and Operational Guide (pdf) was last updated in January 2022. The Deanery have consulted with the BMA who have contributed and support the policy. 

How to apply for Study leave

Applications must be made via the Turas Study Leave application.  Study Leave Applications must be made in advance of the activity/event and logged on Turas. Applications cannot be made or accepted retrospectively.

More information on applying for Study Leave is available on the Scotland Deanery website and in the study leave trainee guide.
